Hello together,

i am new in this forum, so hello everybody!

I run amarok 1.04a on a gentoo amd64 with mysql support.
I have an alsa sound card: Creative Audigy 2 and my amarok uses the xine engine. So far so good,
but amarok doesn´t play any soundfile.

When I load titles in my playlist, amarok runs through it and stops after the last file. 10 Titles are "played" in 2 seconds. I hear nothing
Everytime when I change the sound device in the configuration dialog amarok kicks off
It stands per default on "alsa"

Whats the problem??? xine, vlc, xmms, kde all have sounds, only amarok not

I had problems with ALSA too, i moved to SVN version and everything now seems ok. )

how do i install amarok from svn under gentoo?

Did you compile xine-lib with the mad-useflag?

Here i guess -)

>>Did you compile xine-lib with the mad-useflag?

no, not that i know, must I?

If you want to listen to mp3-files, mad must be enabled

Oh yeah!

THANK YOU, the mad USE flag was the solution!!!

I too am having this problem in Kubuntu Dapper,  is there any fix I can get on this?,  or would I have to recompile?. Or perhaps get a deb with the mad thing enabled

You need a package with enabled mad, due to licensing problems, this isn't done my Kubuntu by default.
